Uncompressed 4K/8K HDMI and DP Over Fiber Solution
OPTAV uncompressed HDMI & DisplayPort over fiber solutions transmit native raw video signal without any encoding‑decoding process.
Achieve lossless 4K/8K video, ultra‑low latency, stable point‑to‑point transmission over multi‑mode or single‑mode fiber.
Ideal for professional AV, simulation, medical imaging and machine‑vision projectsnon‑negotiable. where zero signal degradation is non‑negotiable.
Solution Overview
Traditional SFP‑based compressed IP extenders convert video into IP streams via compression, which brings latency, image artifacts and potential audio‑video sync risk.
OPTAV uncompressed 4K/8K HDMI and DP over fiber modules pass‑through native HDMI / DisplayPort electrical signal directly over optical fiber. No video compression, no IP packet processing. Only physical optical‑electrical conversion happens inside the transceiver.
Key Advantages of OPTAV Uncompressed Fiber Solution
- Lossless Zero‑compression Video
No compression artifacts, no block noise. Preserve full original pixel, color depth and HDR metadata. Perfect for high‑precision visual workflow.
- Ultra‑low End‑to‑end Latency
Only physical opto‑electrical latency at nanosecond‑microsecond level. No encoder/decoder buffer delay. Suitable for real‑time interactive operation.
- No IP‑related Failure Risk
Native signal transparent transmission, no packet loss, no jitter, no IP network complexity. Point‑to‑point plug‑and‑play without switch dependency. Avoid common IP‑extender issues like black screen, flicker, freeze.
- Native Audio‑video Synchronization
Video, embedded audio and hot‑plug signal are transmitted together. No timestamp alignment required, eliminate AV‑sync offset risk.
- High Reliability & Easy Troubleshooting
Less intermediate processing links. Faults are limited to fiber cable and optical transceiver hardware, greatly simplify on‑site debugging.
Uncompressed Solution VS Compressed SFP IP Extender
| Item | OPTAV Uncompressed HDMI / DP over Fiber | Compressed SFP IP‑based Video Extender |
|---|---|---|
| Video Processing | Raw signal pass‑through, zero‑compression | H.264 / H.265 encoding & decoding |
| Image Quality | Lossless transmission, YUV4:4:4 full chroma | Visible compression artifacts on fast‑motion scenes |
| Latency | Nanosecond‑to‑microsecond physical latency | Tens to hundreds of milliseconds encoding‑decoding latency |
| Network Requirement | Point‑to‑point direct fiber link, no switch required | Requires IP switch and network infrastructure |
| Failure Risk | Limited to fiber cable and transceiver hardware | Risk of packet loss, signal jitter and AV‑sync offset |
| Typical Max Distance | 300 m (Multi‑mode) / 20 km (Single‑mode) | Subject to SFP module and fiber specification |
| Best‑fit Scenario | Broadcast, simulation & training, medical visualization, machine vision | Digital signage, multi‑channel video surveillance |
Note: Select the uncompressed solution when image fidelity and real‑time performance are critical. Choose compressed SFP‑IP extenders if multi‑stream multiplexing is required and minor image compression is acceptable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1：What is the main difference between uncompressed over fiber and SFP IP‑based extender?
A：Uncompressed transmits raw native HDMI/DP video without encoding; SFP IP solution compresses video into IP stream. Uncompressed delivers lossless image and ultra‑low latency, but consumes higher bandwidth.
Q2：Can uncompressed DP / HDMI over fiber support long‑distance transmission?
A：Multi‑mode fiber up to 300 meters; single‑mode fiber up to 20km, subject to optical power budget.
Q3：Do I need switch for uncompressed HDMI/DP over fiber?
A：No. It works on point‑to‑point fiber link directly, no network switch required.
